Chairman Xi Jinping and China are bullying and oppressing the people of Taiwan as the world looks on. The intensifying aggression toward the democratic island is raising concerns that China will try to take it by force.
Beijing’s escalating rhetoric and military developments are pushing Washington and its allies to work together in ways never done before. This includes the creation of a joint U.S.-Japanese military planning for a conflict.
The two nations fear a conflict could come to fruition between China and Taiwan. Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso declared that in the case of an attack on Taiwan, “Japan and the U.S. must defend Taiwan together.”
It is impossible to accurately predict when China might attempt a full-scale invasion of Taiwan. Many experts say that due to the complexities involved, even China’s Chairman Xi may not have a surefire timeline.
What we do know is that the Communist Party is already taking action against Taiwan. The massive Asian nation has carried out deliberate military provocations below the threshold of armed conflict for years.
This has been done deliberately and carefully to limit the space in which Taiwan’s military can operate. China’s actions also serve to intimidate the citizens and political officials in Taiwan.
These operations have created significant challenges for Taiwanese leaders. The threat of Chinese military aggression is not hypothetical; operations against Taiwan have already been put underway by China.
An all-out attack on Taiwan by China could become likely in the near future, with economic and military consequences that would shake the entire world.
A large question for the United States is not whether or not they should defend Taiwan during war: but how to prevent war in the first place.
Jonathan Ward, founder of Atlas Organization, told Fox News Business that the United States needs to make sure China stops gaining ground economically.
